Questions people ask before they start
Does PistonMoney lend the money itself?
No. PistonMoney is not a lender and does not make credit decisions. Your request goes to participating lenders; whoever responds decides and sets the terms.
What is the range I can ask for?
Requests generally run from $100 to $5,000. Not every lender offers the top of the range, and the amount you are offered depends on the lender, your state and your situation.
Does sending a request affect my credit?
Checking your options does not affect your credit score. A lender may run its own credit check as part of considering your request.
How fast could money arrive?
If a lender approves you and you accept, funds are often sent as soon as the next business day. Timing depends on the lender and your bank.
What information do I need to have ready?
Basic details about you, your income and your checking account. Applicants must be 18+ and US residents in a participating state.
Does PistonMoney charge me anything?
No. Using PistonMoney is free. Lenders pay us when we introduce a borrower; any loan costs are set by the lender and shown to you before you accept.
